So what you're saying is, mates will have to count on the rest of us who tip appropriately to make a living wage. What a terrible line from a captain. I budget and make sacrifices to fish as much as I can (like many people do), I've never even considered skipping the tip to squeeze in a couple more trips per year.

We're not even talking about what % to tip; people are now trying to justify stiffing the mates entirely, giving ZERO as they step off the boat, for shame.
